Zion and the Art of Armageddon

[Highway Man]

It's a strange thing.

Israel assassinated hundreds of journalists to try to stop the truth getting out

But Israeli soldiers are so proud of committing genocide that they film themselves and post on social media.

The army does not try to stop them committing genocide

But tells them not to publicise it.

See video evidence of Israeli soldiers destroying Gaza

Al Jazeera's Investigative Unit compiles evidence of potential Israeli war crimes in Gaza.

@fillyboy will be pleased to see this, because, earlier today, he suggested the prosecution of war crimes.

Though he didn't mention the Israeli criminals.

I have watched the majority of these videos on your link. Disgusting behavior to say the least. It was hard watching some of them because of the pure arragance and disrespect that they showed. Nothing though to prosecute anyone with any meaning. Just a few unprofessional young daft lads acting as soldiers. They have not done the IDF any favours acting this way.

"Since 27 May 2025, more than 1,054 Palestinian civilians seeking aid have been killed[6][7] and thousands more have been wounded in the Gaza Strip while being fired upon by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), armed gangs, and contractors hired by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).[8][9][10] Most of the deadly incidents have occurred in the vicinity of newly established aid distribution sites operated by the US and Israeli-backed GHF.

The killings began taking place on the first day of the GHF's operations, following an 11-week Israeli blockade since early March 2025 that had severely restricted humanitarian aid to Gaza, exacerbating the Gaza humanitarian crisis.[11][12] On 22 July 2025, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) reported that, as of 21 July, 1,054 Palestinian aid seekers were killed: 766 near GHF's sites and 288 near UN and other organizations' aid convoys.[6] On 5 July, the Gaza Health Ministry reported that at least 743 Palestinians were killed and over 4,891 injured;[13] and earlier, on 1 July, the Ministry"

Do you think it's just "a few bad apples?"

I cannot speak for them or on their behalf, the Israeli army has a good reputation so I would say these are a few bad apples. Excitable kids wet around their ears. The IDF have better than this amongst them.

Under what circumstances would you form the opinion that the policy and practice of a country and its army were racism and genocide?

What is Starmers / labours / UK governments take on this genocide accusation / caper ??

I have no real idea of the legal term of genocide because there are too many varients around it. For example, it could be argued that Israel is bombing hospitals that are being used as military command centres and housing arms and terrorists, then that hospital becomes a legitimate target and the patients become natural casualty's of war. Some say they are bombing indscriminantly and targeting hospitals as a means of ethnic cleansing. Some say it is being done to break down the infrastructure and done in a way to clear Palestine altogether. It is difficult to call, it is clear though that it is imoral.

So you aren't able to say it isn't?

I couldn't say. I have my own opinion on it but it isn't a legal definition

"Opinion" is what I asked.

The trouble is knowing what is true and what is a load of old billhooks

Letting the press on would help. If the IDF don't shoot them.

Hamas say something happened, and without any evidence whatsoever, their supporters on here believe it.
All these people who have apparently been killed by the IDF whilst waiting for aid supplies, for example, yet not one picture, or video of it happening.

Re the two preceding posts.

The Israeli Army has killed literally hundreds of journalists and cameramen to prevent the news getting out.

They have been strafed in press cars, shot in the street, their homes have been bombed to kill them and their families.

The Israelis even fired an artillery shell into one man's bedroom during the night.

This is not rumour, or unheard news. It is well known.

"Opinion" is what I asked.

Well my opinion is that it is a brutal war and not a popular one amongst people. Peoples attitudes have changed over the years and now instead of just hearing and simply reading reports on them, it is now common for people to actually watch them on social media. Actually seeing buildings been blown up and casualties on stretchers is more heart wrenching than simply reading about it. Hamas has played upon this and has an amazing propaganda division. I think a lot of reports are based on pulling at peoples heart strings, that said there has been some damming images and video that I have seen that makes me question my support.
